Bamfield Zoning Hearing Could Enable 20 New Homes
British Columbia's Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District will hold a public hearing on proposed zoning and land-use changes in Bamfield. The hearing will consider Application RA23018 and Bylaws P1503 and P1542. If approved, the changes would redesignate part of the Brady's Beach property from Resource Use to Residential Use and rezone portions of two properties. This could enable up to 20 single-family residential parcels and improve public access to Brady's Beach.
Residents can attend in person at the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District office in Port Alberni, call in, or join electronically. The public hearing format ensures multiple ways for community members to participate in decisions that affect their region's development and land use.
